Prevalence and Incidence of Isovaleric Acidemia
Isovaleric Acidemia: Rare Disease
Isovaleric Acidemia is listed as a "rare disease" by the Office of Rare Diseases (ORD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This means that Isovaleric Acidemia, or a subtype of Isovaleric Acidemia, affects less than 200,000 people in the US population.
Ophanet, who are a consortium of European partners, currently defines a condition rare when if affects 1 person per 2,000. They list Isovaleric Acidemia as a "rare disease". More information about Isovaleric Acidemia is available from Orphanet
About prevalence and incidence statistics:
The term 'prevalence' of Isovaleric Acidemia usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Isovaleric Acidemia at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Isovaleric Acidemia refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Isovaleric Acidemia diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics.
